Nate90 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Good question. Without using the Google at the top of my head there are the Scots Roy Kinnear Senior, George Fairbairn, John Hegarty. Matty Russell was also born in Scotland but wasn't brought up there. Irish Brian Carney, Ronan Michael(although I am not 100% sure if he has played for Huddersfield yet) , In the early sixties there was an Italian second row who played a few games for Wigan and Saints. Young Wigan player Ethan Havard was born in Bulgaria. A few South Africans have played league too including Tom van Vollenhoven and Green Vigo. .
